Kevin Hayman, BACP

Kevin Hayman is a qualified and experienced person-centred counsellor who moved into counselling after a career in business, seeking work that felt more fulfilling and rewarding. He works from a belief that people are the experts on their own lives and that, with the right support, clients can gain clearer self-understanding and personal growth. Kevin offers empathy and unconditional positive regard as core parts of his practice, creating a calm and accepting environment where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings.

Across his practice he has supported clients of different ages and ethnicity, helping them to grow, develop, and understand more about themselves. His background in business informs a practical, down-to-earth approach that aims to make therapy accessible and relevant to day-to-day life. Kevin is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects his commitment to professional standards in counselling.

Clients who work with Kevin can expect a person-centred process that prioritises their perspective and pace, while receiving compassionate, nonjudgmental support to uncover insights and find ways forward. He seeks to help people recognise the knowledge they already hold about themselves and to support them in seeing it more clearly.

Person-Centred and Mindfulness Approaches for Online Care

Kevin uses client-centred therapy to place the client at the heart of the therapeutic process, offering acceptance, active listening, and support so individuals can explore their own thoughts and feelings in their own time. This approach is helpful for people seeking self-understanding, emotional clarity, or a supportive space to work through change.

Kevin also incorporates mindfulness therapy, which encourages present-moment awareness and gentle attention to thoughts and bodily experience. Mindfulness techniques can help with stress, rumination, and building practical skills to manage difficult emotions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. Kevin will collaborate with each person to identify which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the style of sessions as understanding grows. This collaborative process helps ensure the therapy feels relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing clients to fit therapy around work, family, and other commitments. For many people, these options make accessing regular support easier and more consistent while still working with registered professionals and experienced therapists.
